What I Need, I Eat

Wouldn't it be great if we could solve our problems just like that? The same way ancestral tribes thought that by eating certain parts of their enemies' bodies they would get specific perks?

This artwork wants to convey a desperate attempt to fix something that's lacking and supposedly can't be fixed. It's a direct reference to the author's situation.

It took Cintia 1 full year to finish this work that would have only taken her a couple of days to complete before she got disabled and mostly bedridden 2 years ago.

She's been suffering from ME/CFS for 20 years and has recently been diagnosed with CCI (Cranio Cervical Instability), which gives her the chance to get her life back through specific spinal surgery, the only option in existence at the moment that can hi-jack ME/CFS.

This piece has been turned into an edition of 50 as said surgery's costs in € is 76k, which is a high price. With that, Cintia could get her life back and also save her art, which she can't do anymore.

Her story can be found on the Gofundme link in her Twitter profile. https://twitter.com/StrangeCintia/status/1398592054675095554

All earnings from this piece will be merged with her Gofundme donations so she can finally recover.
